Two human ecology students awarded $5,000 scholarships

Two seniors in the hospitality management and dietetics department have been awarded $5,000 scholarships. They are Jessalyn Strahm, hospitality management, and Cynthia Arias-Dowling, dietetics.

The National Association of College & University Food Services Clark DeHaven Scholarship Trust gave four national scholarships to students enrolled in academic programs related to food service management. Half of the scholarships went to Kansas State University students.

"Having our students get 50 percent of the $20,000 is remarkable," said Mary Molt, assistant professor in the College of Human Ecology and assistant director in housing and dining services.
